Realistic protrayal of Split personality :

I'm trying to write my story where my original character starts to develop a 'split personality' or (Dissociative I—- Disorder) but I have trouble writing about the 'symptoms' so is there an accurate way of foreshadowing these occurrences?
Much help appreciated ^__^

First, I think there exists this feeling of being asleep, and distant from the world — awake. It is like looking at a copy of a copy of a copy of the real thing. And also, the person will gradually find more memories that he didn't really 'experience'. The two personalities would likely never realize each others' presences, save for the abrupt gap in the memory.
